Menya Kaiko Hokkaido Ramen, Singapore

This stall at the basement of the new ION Orchard mall (#B4-53) was memorable because it had a bowl of ramen that went for nearly S$30 (US$21) featuring a gigantic crab leg. We didn't get a chance to try it the first time we went to the mall, but we were in the neighborhood tonight and stopped by. I grabbed their namesake bowl, which was fortunately much cheaper at only S$12 (US$8.50).

It was a bit of a letdown, as it really didn't taste like much more than some of that boxed stuff that I had at home. Granted, it was much better than some of the other shops out there (like Aoba), but it was oily and frankly a bit boring, especially given the limited condiment selection. Well, they did provide a choice of miso at least, so if we eat this again then I'll have to try the white miso instead.
